* popid – identifier of a population migrating on the edge. This parameter may be used repeatedly. If this parameter and additionally “rateab” or “rateba” is set at least once then a MigrationEdge will be specified in STEM, otherwise a CommonBorderEdge will be defined.

PajekNetGraphGenerator and STEM-related Format extension to Pajek

Pajek ([1]) uses a kind of standardized language for describing networks. Some examples might be found here: http://vlado.fmf.uni-lj.si/pub/networks/pajek/testdata.zip. A subset of this language is interpreted by the PajekNetGraphGenerator to import arbitrary graphs into STEM. The following reserved words are supported:

1. *Vertices n – n is number of vertices. In STEM nodes are the equivalent of vertices. Each vertex is described using following format (take care of the sequence of the parameters, additional and STEM-only parameters may be in any order):

label – if label starts with character a..zA..Z or 0..9 first blank determines end of the label (e.g., vertex1), labels consisting of more words must be enclosed in pair of special characters (e.g., ”vertex 1”). The definition of a label is obligatory.

x, y, z – coordinates of vertex. The z coordinate is ignored in STEM. In Pajek the coordinates have values between 0 and 1, for STEM the values are not limited. x and y coordinates are obligatory for STEM.

shape – shape of object which represents vertex. The following shapes are supported by the PajekNetGraphGenerator: triangle, cross, ellipse, box, diamond. In STEM ellipse is represented as circle and box and diamond both are represented as box. box is the default value.

Additional parameters:

s_size – size of the node. The default size is given by the parameter “Default Area” within the PajekNetGraphGeneratorImpl dialog in STEM. For STEM the size of the node is not limited. Overlaps of nodes are not checked by the importer, they are allowed.

Example: 1 ”vertex one” 0.3456 0.1234 0.5 ellipse s_size 0.1

Parameters only valid in STEM (these parameters are ignored by Pajek):

popid – identifier of a population of the node. This parameter may be used repeatedly.

popcount – number of individuals living in the node. This parameter may be used repeatedly. The associated popid is the last mentioned one.

2. *Edges – definition of edges. Format (take care of the sequence of the parameters, STEM-only parameters may be in any order):

v1 v2 [borderlength] [additional optional parameters]

v1 – initial vertex number. The definition of v1 is obligatory. v1 has to be defined as node (see above: vertexnum).

v2 – terminal vertex number. The definition of v2 is obligatory. v2 has to be defined as node (see above: vertexnum).

borderlength – defines the borderlength for CommonBorderEdges

Parameters only valid in STEM (these parameters are ignored by Pajek):

popid – identifier of a population migrating on the edge. This parameter may be used repeatedly. If this parameter and additionally “rateab” or “rateba” is set at least once then a MigrationEdge will be specified in STEM, otherwise a CommonBorderEdge will be defined.

rateba – fraction of the population in node v2 migrating over the edge to the node v1 in a given time period. This parameter may be used repeatedly. The associated popid is the last mentioned one. The default value is 0.
